He also has an XB271H 27" 1080p G-Sync 144Hz monitor. I have to say that 144Hz on both monitors is amazing and you can really see the difference between that and 60Hz when you play games.
The G-Sync though, neither one of us can really see the effects of that so he keeps it turned off. Maybe it's good for pro gamers, but for most casual gamers you can skip the G-Sync and put the cash towards a high refresh rate and/or a bigger screen like this BenQ.
$250 to send back to Vendor!
Still waiting for a refund.
If you read other reviews, they will mention what a pain in the ass it is to plug this thing in in the back. This is true. It gets even more frustrating after you are plugging and unplugging on different pc's/power supplies to test and see why it isnt working.
I would definitely have given it higher stars if I was able to use the product.
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018
With all of this being said, my only problem with this monitor is the amount of dead pixels that have shown up with only 2 day's use. At first, I didn't notice them. But dead pixels to me are one of those things that when I do notice them, they start to bug me incessantly. Now I can't stop looking at them. I don't know if this is a common problem or not, and I can't complain because again, for the price, this monitor is amazing. I don't intend on sending it back because I believe it's something I should be able to get used to, and sending products back is a pain in the ass.
Definitely would have gotten 5 stars if not for this dead pixel problem.
If you're looking for a gaming monitor for immersion, or something that just makes everything look great, on a budget, then this is the monitor for you. I just hope you don't have the same problem I did.
My review in a nutshell:
A monitor aimed at gamers who want an incredible experience.
Pros:
This monitor, even at 2560x1080, is beautiful to look at. I do not notice any back-light bleed, and my monitor had no dead pixels/damage. Playing video games and watching movies feels incredibly different since a good portion of your peripheral view is consumed by this monitor. If immersion was quantifiable it would be up there for sure. On top of that the 144hz is very responsive versus a standard 60hz monitor. While some may say 60hz is "enough" for PC gaming, I would agree that its enough, but not enough to go above and beyond. The 35" of screen real estate is a joy to work with, and BenQ has plenty of screen presets (like Photo, Movie, Gamer etc.) and for most people this will be all the customization they need. This monitor will (literately) be the center of attention on your desk.
Cons:
Cable management in the back is passable, but by no means a fun time. Most connections require a right angle bend within one inch, so this was a minor inconvenience while trying to perfect the look of everything. Next is the lack of height adjustment, while this may not affect some people, my personal desk layout required me to prop the monitor up on 3 small washcloths. While it isn't pretty it gets the job done until a more suitable remedy is brainstormed. The buttons while "labeled" on the bottom bezel are initially off putting until you commit to getting familiar with it.
Other thoughts:
If you can find this monitor under 600$ and in a suitable condition, jump on it. Sure it may not check off every single enthusiast's requirements, but when sitting in front of the monitor, its hard to deny that it is beautiful. Sure it could have a 3440x1440 resolution, or g-sync, but with Nvidia's DSR you can mimic the higher resolution pretty well without noticing a difference. Above 100hz g-sync begins to lose it's value as the refresh rate itself reduces screen tearing. Just make sure your computer is capable enough to run this as it will beyond a doubt require some more horsepower. While this monitor can be used for common work applications, gaming is where this really shines, and most likely why you are looking at this right now.
I will update with pictures/comments as I move beyond the "honeymoon phase" with this monitor.
Update 1: After using this monitor for over 4 months now I still wouldn't switch back to a traditional dual monitor setup. While I primarily use this for gaming, using this for just about anything else is still amazing. Sure some games don't support the widescreen resolution, but this monitor has changed how I will play pc games going forward. The hype for ultrawide monitors is deserved. The navigation buttons on the bottom of the monitor are largely a non-issue now, once you have fine tuned some presets the only thing you will end up doing is switching between them. Personally I have night/day presets but the controls are not as terrible as people make them out to be.
Benq has mounts for this but thay are never in stocks.
I gave the monitor to my son and bought another brand with Vesa mounting

The rest of the monitor is great but you cannot enjoy the 144hz wich so much bluriness hapening
